Last Sunday Gillian Reed, a young catechumen, was sent by this parish to the Diocesan Rite of Election at St. Amelia’s Church in Tonawanda.

There, Bishop Malone acknowledged publically that she and dozens of other catechumens and candidates from around the eight counties of this diocese are ready to be admitted to the sacraments at the Easter Vigil.

This Lent let us pray for her and so many others throughout the world who seek new life in Christ.
